"I'll just do it myself and save a few hundred bucks."
It's a common thought, but tree removal is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world—even for professionals. For an amateur, the risks multiply exponentially.
The Hidden Costs of DIY:
- Medical Bills: A fall or a strike from a branch can result in serious injury. Your health insurance may not cover high-risk activities.
- Property Damage: What happens if the tree falls on your house, your car, or your neighbor's fence? Homeowner's insurance often has clauses that exclude damage from negligence or non-professional work.
- Equipment Rental: The right gear (high-power chainsaws, chippers, safety equipment) is expensive to rent and dangerous to operate without experience.
- Debris Disposal: What are you going to do with tons of wood and branches? Hauling and landfill fees are a significant cost.
When you hire a professional, you're not just paying for labor. You're paying for experience, a strategic felling plan, safety equipment, and—most importantly—**liability and workers' compensation insurance**. That policy is your peace of mind.
